Eu sei que é um bocadinho anacrónico, ser eu a deixar este comentário, mas enganaste-te ali numa letra, não é a dew days ago, é a few days ago (como muito bem sabes).

Vê este vídeo e a notícia do Público e depois diz-me se continuas tão optimista… o problema vai ser mesmo este… os professores não sabem usar computadores e depois as formações são esta propaganda que se vê… sincerametne!!!

I’m really liking those screens of Caixa Magica, looks like a very nice custom version like the ones found on EEEPC and the Aspire One.

It’s a shame They went with Dual Boot instead of Linux Only since now most people will simply boot windows because that’s what dad and the teacher knows and think that the linux install is just taking up space… It’s a wasted oportunity since the computer could become an important appliance (and if we get the 3rd generation which will be a tablet it would be even better)…

Comment on StarBucks coming to Portugal by Anna

It’s interesting to hear what a debate the arrival of Starbucks has sparked here in Lisbon. Personally I don’t think that anyone goes to Starbucks for the outstanding quality of the coffee. However, what it will finally offer is choice. A place where if you choose you can go and sit in a comfy armchair with friends, a newspaper or a laptop and actually relax and take your time over a LONG drink (whether its coffee, hot chocolate or a refreshing frappuccino in the summer) and an alternative to the traditional Portuguese pastries if you’re feeling peckish. I don’t think that this experience is comparable to standing in a more hectic traditional Portuguese cafe gulping down a quick bica – this is and will remain I have no doubt, the first choice for those wanting their urgent authentic Portuguese coffee fix. It’s also finally a place where people can go and get a long take away coffee in a paper cup – a novel concept here where you get a strange look if you ask for a disposable cup to take away!
There are an increasing number of alternative style coffee shops opening in Lisbon offering a different take on the traditional Portuguese cafe and these seem to be doing extremely well – the Austrian KaffeeHaus in Chaido for example, or the recently opened Go Natural outlet in the BES building next to Marques De Pombal .
As far as I know the first Starbucks will be opening in the Alegro shopping centre in Alfragide in October (why there I have no idea as this seems the most unlikely place for the concept to take off as I have never seen any foreigners or tourists there). I hope that the other two outlets (if it is indeed two) are more centrally located - Chiado would be ideal – although anywhere too close to A Brasileira I have to agree, would leave more than a bitter taste in the mouth…
